Spider-Man India Swings Back in Solo Limited Series
Just in time for his cinematic debut earlier this year, Pavitr Prabhakar, also known as Spider-Man India, is making a triumphant return in his very own solo limited series. This thrilling adventure, SPIDER-MAN: INDIA, kicked off in June and is a five-issue saga penned by author Nikesh Shukla, brought to life by the artistic talents of Abhishek Malsuni and Tadam Gyadu. The series promises an exciting new chapter for the beloved Spider-Man of Earth-50101, replete with revelations about his home world, unexpected team-ups with Earth-616’s Spider-Men, the emergence of a formidable new nemesis, and, in the grand finale, the unveiling of a fresh costume.
A Modern Twist on a Classic Look
Fans can catch their first glimpse of Spider-Man India’s modernized costume in Doaly’s New Costume Variant Cover for SPIDER-MAN: INDIA #5, which is set to hit stands in October. This upgraded outfit marks a significant change from Spider-Man India’s traditional appearance and hints at an exciting evolution for the character.
High-Stakes Battle for Mumbai
In SPIDER-MAN: INDIA, the stakes are higher than ever as Pavitr Prabhakar faces his ultimate challenge when a relentless Lizard threatens the safety of Mumbai. Dangerous experiments push the formidable creature’s ally to the brink, leaving Pavitr with his last chance to save the city. Unexpectedly, his salvation may lie in the unlikeliest of alliances, forging friendships that the wall-crawler never anticipated.
The Origin of Spider-Man India
Pavitr Prabhakar’s origin story mirrors that of Peter Parker in many ways. Raised by his Aunt Maya and Uncle Bhim in modest circumstances, Prabhakar’s intellect earned him a scholarship that, with the support of his family, enabled him to attend a prestigious school in Mumbai. However, his time at the school was fraught with difficulties as he faced bullying from peers due to his economic background. It was during an escape from bullies that he crossed paths with a mysterious yogi who bestowed upon him extraordinary powers akin to Earth-616’s Spider-Man, including enhanced strength and a danger-sensing ability.
An Interdimensional Hero
Prabhakar’s journey didn’t stop there. He joined the ranks of Spider-Men from various dimensions during the SPIDER-VERSE crossover event in 2014. Together, they battled the Inheritors, interdimensional vampires posing a grave threat to the Spider-Verse. Now, with this latest series, Prabhakar is set to reclaim the spotlight and embark on new adventures in his own right.
The return of Spider-Man India promises a riveting exploration of his character, new challenges, and an exciting future filled with heroics and, undoubtedly, a fresh spin on the classic superhero formula.

Shah Rukh Khan: A Return to the Silver Screen
In recent times, Bollywood’s iconic figure, Shah Rukh Khan, has adopted a unique approach to communicating with the public, shying away from direct interactions with the press. Instead, he has chosen to express his thoughts and emotions through his cinematic endeavours. Over the past year, Khan has marked his remarkable comeback with two significant films – “Pathaan” and “Jawan,” offering a fresh perspective on his career trajectory.
Pathaan: A Comeback after a Hiatus
“Pathaan” arrived at a critical juncture in Khan’s career, following a four-year sabbatical during which his films struggled at the box office. Some attribute this break to Khan’s dissatisfaction with script choices, especially after the lukewarm reception of movies like “Fan” and “Zero.” Others speculate that the COVID-19 pandemic played a role in his temporary withdrawal from the limelight. The exact reasons behind his hiatus remain a mystery. However, Khan was determined to stage a comeback that would resonate for years to come.
The Evergreen Icon
Shah Rukh Khan has been a dominant force in Bollywood for over three decades, earning global recognition as one of the most prominent faces in the Indian entertainment industry. His romantic roles have reshaped the perception of love in Indian cinema. While cherished by many, he also faces criticism from certain quarters. For some, his Muslim identity and his status as a beloved figure in a predominantly Hindu nation can be discomforting. Nevertheless, Khan remains steadfast in his apolitical stance, refraining from aligning with any political party or ideology.
Jawan: A Box Office Triumph
Khan’s latest film, “Jawan,” has already etched its name in history with remarkable opening numbers, despite calls for its boycott. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Khan was hailed as the “King of Romance” for his plethora of romantic films. However, as he approaches his sixties, Khan is using his films to articulate his political leanings. Though he refrains from vocalizing his opinions in public forums or taking explicit stances on societal issues, his cinema speaks volumes, and audiences are listening.
In conclusion, Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the silver screen has not only reignited his career but also provided a platform for him to subtly convey his evolving political inclinations. As an enduring icon of Indian cinema, Khan continues to captivate and inspire audiences while making a silent yet powerful statement through his cinematic artistry.

The Quirky World of Bethesda’s Starfield
Bethesda games have an unmistakable identity, intricately woven with the memes they generate and the extensive mods that flourish around them. Starfield, their latest creation, is no exception. Despite reportedly dedicating years to testing the game’s expansive solar system during its eight-year development, Bethesda’s games cannot escape their notorious bugs. A video featuring Todd Howard’s pronouncements interspersed with Starfield glitches serves as a testament to this.
Embracing the Chaos
Some gamers have criticized Starfield’s systems for feeling somewhat clunky, especially when compared to the past two years of exceptionally well-crafted open-world RPGs. However, despite its imperfections, Starfield manages to maintain a certain charm. It’s the quirks and oddities that emerge from the bugs that add character to Bethesda’s creations. It’s this chaotic aura that draws players back to these virtual realms, even decades after their initial launch.
Weirdness Amid Generic Settings
Bethesda’s game settings have ventured into high fantasy, post-apocalyptic landscapes, and run-of-the-mill sci-fi locales. However, as soon as players set foot in New Atlantis, a city resembling an Apple Store clone, the eccentricity becomes apparent. Citizens ricochet off each other like pool balls, but one individual stands out—an oddly moonwalking figure with a shopping bag. Other examples of such bizarre occurrences abound in the game.
Breaking the Rules of Reality
In the world of Starfield, NPCs seem to have a knack for defying gravity. Videos capture baristas nonchalantly levitating through the ceiling while discussing sales at a coffee shop. However, the weirdness isn’t limited to bugs alone; it’s also woven into Bethesda’s systems that are functioning as intended.
Quirky Dialogues and Camera Peculiarities
Bethesda’s dialogues in Starfield carry a distinct flavour—a campy genericism reminiscent of a cheesy sitcom. Characters exclaim lines like, “Well, I’ll be, honey! We got ourselves a visitor! I’ll put the coffee on,” while their expressions remain eerily stoic. Additionally, the company’s insistence on zooming in on speaking characters’ faces as they deliver lines, similar to a webinar presenter, adds to the quirkiness. Their mouths move independently of their eyes, and their heads mechanically swivel to maintain eye contact, even if you approach them from behind.
The Surreal Charade of Starfield
Starfield’s online presence reflects a universe where characters appear to have cheerfully lost their sanity. However, this oddity contributes to the game’s surrealist humour, reminding players that Bethesda’s creations are akin to a vast Truman Show—a mechanical masquerade populated by peculiar automatons.
In essence, the quirks, bugs, and eccentricities are an integral part of the Bethesda experience, making their games memorable and endearing to players despite their imperfections.

The Long-Awaited Live-Action Adaptation of One Piece
For years, the anime community had harboured doubts about whether any live-action adaptation could ever truly capture the essence of an anime series. However, in 2023, the “curse” was finally broken with the release of the live-action One Piece series on Netflix. This groundbreaking show benefits from the direct involvement of the manga’s author, Eiichiro Oda, exceptional writing, and remarkable production values, promising fans a pirate adventure of a lifetime.
Improving on the Original
Remarkably, the live-action One Piece series not only managed to capture the magic of the original manga and anime franchise but also made significant improvements. The East Blue saga, which had begun to show its age, underwent a thoughtful revamp, addressing its weakest aspects and introducing welcome new elements that enhanced the series’ inaugural saga.
Streamlining Legendary Fights
While One Piece boasts some of the most epic battles in shonen anime history, some of these legendary clashes were notorious for their extended durations. Notably, Luffy’s encounters with Charlotte Katakuri and Kaido dragged on. The live-action series took a different approach, opting to expedite these battles, resulting in a more engaging and dynamic viewing experience.
Character Depth and Restraint
In the live-action adaptation, the beloved One Piece characters retain their trademark spirit and vitality but with a touch of much-needed restraint. Longtime fans can fill in the gaps and appreciate the characters’ personalities without heavy-handed exposition, while newcomers can readily grasp the lively nature of characters like Luffy and Usopp.
Horror Elements and Atmosphere
One striking departure from the source material is the introduction of compelling horror elements. Rather than staging confrontations in broad daylight, Captain Kuro’s sinister moves take place under the cover of darkness, adding an eerie ambience as he traps characters like Kaya, Usopp, and Nami within the confines of a forbidding mansion.
Character Interactions and Evolution
The live-action series cleverly weaves character interactions into the storyline, allowing characters like Koby to play off others such as Helmeppo, Usopp, and Captain Kuro in intriguing ways. These interactions contribute to the development of the story and its characters.
A Darker and More Formidable Garp
In this iteration, Monkey D. Garp, Luffy’s grandfather, takes on a darker and more formidable persona. Straying from the goofy and lighthearted Garp of the original anime, the Netflix series portrays him as a serious and intimidating figure within the Navy, shedding the humour for a more militaristic demeanour. This new interpretation of Garp adds depth to the Navy’s portrayal and challenges characters like Koby to redefine their concepts of justice.
In conclusion, the live-action One Piece series on Netflix has successfully defied expectations, breathing new life into a beloved franchise while respecting its core essence. With meticulous improvements and creative choices, this adaptation has opened new horizons for fans, offering a fresh perspective on the high-seas adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew.
